Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium white onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 8 ounces white mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly for 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and dijon mustard. Let the mixture cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Add the chicken breasts back into the skillet, along with any juices that have accumulated. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Stir in the chopped fresh dill and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve the chicken hot with plenty of the mushroom dill cream sauce over the top. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
